That is the only reason I can think of (okay, maybe he didn’t have time to wash his hair) as to why Ashton Kutcher decided to wear that hat to the GQ’s Gentlemen’s Ball Presented By Gentleman at The Edison Ballroom last night (October 26) in New York City.

Wearing a grey suit and a knitted beanie hat, Ashton walked the red carpet at the event solo and one inside he sat at a table where he was greeted by friend and fellow presenter Jason Sudeikis, who looked dapper in a blue suit and white shirt.

Ashton was wearing his wedding ring at the event. Ahead of the ball, the actor was seen puffing on a cigarette looking rather weary as he made his way to the New York venue. Kutcher, 33, has been maintaining a low profile after it was reported that he had an affair with 22-year-old Sara Leal.
